Other than tyranny, genocide or anything like that what is something or someone that Hitler truly loved? Was he in love with Eva Braun or was she just a mistress?

I kind of meant physical things. Art is the closest answer yet but I want to know one physical item that he loved since it looks like there were no people.

He probably loved his mistress, but treated her badly. He truly loved his German Shepherd, Blondi. When he realized the end was near, he married Eva. Then they took poison, shot themselves and Blondi, and died. Poor Blondi!
114%? Is this because you are a pirate?

In addition to painting, Geli and Eva, he also loved his mother, Richard Wagner, opera, and even a best friend, although the name escapes me at the moment. Before he fought in WW1, he would often go to the shows dressed as a pure gentleman with a suit, walking stick, and everything else, and had a best friend who would go with him. This was the only real friend Hitler really had as a youth, but he was very perceptive with this friend. He could always tell exactly what the friend was thinking, the best gifts to get him, and was even so obsessed with him that he became upset once while his friend talked to someone else. He said Hitler said something along the lines of "It bothers me that you would have any friends but me" to him.
Oh, he also loved his country. If I had his spirit today, it would be "patriotic." After he was temporarily blinded in WW1 by mustard gas, he wished only for Germany to win, and actually cried and screamed when he heard of the surrender. He won the iron cross for his bravery, and truly loved war and his country.
That's all I can think of at the moment; hope it was enlightening :)

He loved his niece Gelli something-or-other who was many years his junior when he first came to power. He put her up (locked her into) a grand apartment adjoining his and there are reports that he repeatedly sexually abused her. She committed suicide after a couple years of this as this was her only way to escape him - she wasn't yet 20.
He DID love his German Shepherd, Blondi, so much that just before he offed himself and Eva (whom I don't think he ever even had sex with much less loved) he gave Blondi the same Cyanide capsules he and Eva took - to make sure they would work.
Nice guy.
Yes - he absolutely loved his mother. And she doted on him, probably because, although a "difficult" child, he survived childhood and she had lost others.
I quarrel with his love of Country and/or patriotism. He was a true Austrian - didn't treat them too well - and as the War wound down, hated the German people. He believed he was their savior and they had let him down personally by not winning. Very complicated man. I am unaware of the best friend angle. Even those books I've read about his childhood do not mention one.
At one point, when he was about 10-11, he considered becoming a beekeeper until all his father's bees died and he was blamed for it and beaten severely. He also liked horses - until his older half-brother stole his father's. Do you mean this sort of thing?
Too bad he didn't like people - even himself.

His dogs - he prefer ed German Shepherds
The Operas of Richard Wagner
Cream cakes
(Probably) Geli Raubel - his niece
The German race - BUT only as long as it was winning. As soon as defeat became inevitable he blamed the Germans for their "weakness" and thought it best if they were swept away.
The sound of his own voice - he would bore his entourage to tears by telling the same stories and rehashing the same history over and over again.
Sloth - he did as little actual work as he could get away with. Staying up late to watch films and bore his entourage and getting up at lunchtime.
I doubt he loved Eva Braun - he preferred dumb blondes and I don't see how you can love someone you don't respect.

He married Ava Braun right before he killed himself, the coward. He loved his dogs. He did love to paint, oil paintings. I read several books on Hitler and they said that if he had been accepted at the art school he applied to, this horrific part of history might have been avoided.

Hitler loved getting attention - and judging by the multitude of questions here on Y!A - he is still receiving too much attention.

From my screen name you can tell I'm no Hitler fan. But he seemed to love his dogs. Far more than any people. But in the end, he poisoned them first, to check out how fast the dreck worked, so in the end, I guess he didn't really love anyone or anything!

Some say he was in love with her but no one knows for sure. Hitler did love architecture. He was also fond of German Shepherd dogs.
